Should Painter Attach To A Fair Human Head The Thick, Turgid Neck Of A Stallion, Or Depict A Spruce Lass With The Tail Of A Bass, I Am Sure You Would Guy The Rapscallion. Believe Me, Dear Pisos, That Just Such A Freak Is The Crude And Preposterous Poem Which Merely Abounds In A Torrent Of Sounds, With No Depth Of Reason Below 'Em. 'T Is All Very Well To Give License To Art,-- The Wisdom Of License Defend I; But The Line Should Be Drawn At The Fripperish Spawn Of A Mere Cacoethes Scribendi. It Is Too Much The Fashion To Strain At Effects,-- Yes, That's What's The Matter With Hannah! Our Popular Taste, By The Tyros Debased, Paints Each Barnyard A Grove Of Diana! Should A Patron Require You To Paint A Marine, Would You Work In Some Trees With Their Barks On? When His Strict Orders Are For A Japanese Jar, Would You Give Him A Pitcher Like Clarkson? Now, This Is My Moral: Compose What You May, And Fame Will Be Ever Far Distant Unless You Combine With A Simple Design A Treatment In Toto Consistent.
